(optimistic music) (screen swooshes)
(TV screen hissing) (remote clicks)
(TV zooms) (Warmbo pants) (Warmbo's head knocking) (phone ringing) - (gasps) Phone. Hello? - Hey, Mr. Cody. It's Warmbo from work. - Oh, hi. - What's up? How you doing? - What is this? I don't like this. - Warmbo was just thinking
maybe Mr. Cody wants to come over Warmbo's house for a bit. We can watch "Green Book" or play Stratego or just
soak the hot tub or whatever. Warmbo is wide open. - One second. (hand thuds)
(door r
attling) (door clicking) That's better, boy. Why do I feel like something very bad is going to happen to me? Some kind of looming thread of just bad. You guys feel that? Do you feel the bad? Like maybe 2024 is just
gonna be very, very tiring. Something about, something
happening later in the year. I can't, ah, I can't
put my finger on what, some kind of event. Now Warmbo wants to hang out? What is that about? Okay, I know how to figure this out. With an episode of this
show, "Some More News." Yo
u heard of it? It's this show. Welcome to it. And, hey, here's some more news. 2024 is gonna be just a whole lot. (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) (crystal ball buzzing) (cards flapping)
(eerie music) Exhausting news we can expect in 2024. (dog barks)
(screen roars) Oh, heck yes. Are you ready to get tired? I sure am. I'm so ready to get tired
that I'm already very tired. I need to lie down. My big bearded brain hurts, because I don't know if you know this, but we haven't been
shy about getti
ng a lot of things right on this show, which isn't to say we're always right. Part of our superpower is selectively finding the
stuff we were right about and highlighting it while
ignoring anything else. It's called being manipulative and my therapist thinks it's awesome. My point is that hindsight is 2020. Monday morning orgy ref,
et cetera, and whatever. It's easy to talk about
events we were right about after they happened. So why not call our shots instead? Friday night orgy ref, really flex
our psychic abilities, orgy, oracle, orgy-cle, orgy-cle! It's not perfect, and honestly,
much like a cursed orgy, I really hope that the
following predictions for 2024 don't happen. Like seriously, it would be
really swell if we're wrong. Please, I'm literally begging. (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) (crystal ball buzzing) The pandemic is far from over. (eerie music)
(smoke roars) (smoke sizzling) See what I mean? Also it's possible that
we're not using magic power so much as looking at dat
a. Anyhoo, the heck are we
talking about here, huh? What's going on? COVID is over, right? It's certainly not a pandemic anymore, like we say in our title, and most Americans agree
that COVID is over. And to be fair and balanced
and a little salty to taste, COVID rates are largely way down. They seem to spike
specifically during the winter, which scans, but those
spikes aren't nearly as large as the Omicron wave back in old 2022. To be exact ish, there were about 20,000
weekly hospitalizations i
n September of 2023. Of course if you're immunocompromised, that's still too many people, but for most Americans,
it don't matter to them. More like impoono-compromised, they say. I'm so sorry I said that. It's the Americans are saying that. The other Americans. Not me. Only 7% of Americans are, quote, very worried about
getting COVID and only 17% of eligible people actually
got the latest vaccine. That last bit is a little
concerning on account of the fact that older Americans really
should be
vaccinated regularly, but simply aren't. So it's safe to assume that there will be
another spike this year, perhaps during a time when people are all out going to something, some kind of event that's close to winter where people gather really
close to each other, an orgy? Am I thinking of an orgy again? I hope I'm not. Still, the possibility of
COVID returning in some big, terrifying way is slim. So that's good, segment over. No, it's not over? Not even like a da-da-la-da-la? Like one of, we hav
en't
done those in a while. (lively music)
(screen zooms) Hell yeah. Welcome back. So if you look at the title
of this segment again, you might notice that we
didn't say COVID specifically. Ha-ha-ha. We tricked you good. You look like (beeps) asshole. We are pointing and laughing, because I don't know if you know this, but COVID isn't the only
virus that will exist. There will be other bigger and probably worse pandemics
that we will have to deal with. And, see, I'm not sure if you recall this,
but something very ridiculous
happened during COVID, a certain political party, when faced with an apolitical pandemic, decided to fight on the side of the virus. Do you remember that? When we learned that a huge portion of America apparently had
oppositional defiant disorder to the point that they
were willing to die instead of take basic and common sense measures to protect themselves
and others from COVID. And even now are still
putting out headlines absolutely terrified of having to put some
thing over the
lower half of their face, the ultimate sacrifice! Boy, that's really, really stupid. Like when history looks back at that, it's gonna be very embarrassing and baffling, especially
since after all of that, one of the uniting actions that state governments
took from that ordeal, the more than 1 million deaths was to pass a series of laws designed to stop health agencies
from enacting mandates that would slow the next pandemic. No, (beeps), that's a thing that happened. Currently abo
ut 30 states
have made it harder for health officials to
issue basic protections, like mask mandates and distancing. In other words, lawmakers
saw a massive global pandemic that killed countless
and said, you know what? The real problem is having
to wear those pesky masks and then for the first time ever, they actually rushed through
laws as if it were a life and death scenario,
choosing to support death. (optimistic music) (screen zooms) It is beyond confusing to see
politicians land on the sid
e of the virus that killed everyone. But here we are, beyond confused. And so it would perhaps be
nice to see someone rooting for the side that keeps people alive, especially now that we just saw the biggest wave since Omicron. Unfortunately the White House
has been silent on the issue. I wonder if there's a reason
they would just let people die instead of making a politically
unpopular health measure. Is there like some kind of political pageant happening soon? And while it's unlikely that we c
an issue mask mandates without a civil war apparently, there are things that
could be done right now to at least help. Some suggestions from this article by The New Republic include
really obvious things, like renovating public spaces to have HEPA air filters, normalizing the use of
masks in specific places, promoting regular vaccinations, and making them easy to get, and pushing airlines to
waive cancellation fees during COVID spikes. You'll notice none of
that involves a mandate or forcing any
thing. Not that we're gonna do that
or anything about anything because even if COVID
numbers continue to go down and vanish, heck, even if we never get another
pandemic again, which we will, but even if we didn't, COVID
still isn't done with us. - Millions of Americans are
suffering with long COVID and it's unclear why. Doctors say it can happen to anyone and it can be debilitating. - Back in 2022, the CDC reported that about 18 million American adults have or had long COVID. That's about 6.9% o
f adults, not nice. Out of that group, people
with symptoms were more likely to be unemployed than people without. And so it's safe to say that roughly two to four million Americans
can't work due to long COVID. For reference, that's more than the entire state of Connecticut. And don't you act like you don't care about Connecticut, okay? That's where the WWE Headquarters are. Certainly you want most of WWE to be able to work, right, right? My point here is that long COVID is going to be a proble
m for a lot of people, possibly for the rest of their lives. So you'd think that a good country run by non-dildos would be able
to easily take care of that, except this country that is
in fact run by yes-dildos really likes to pretend
things that are problems aren't problems and
even make policies based around the power of positive thinking. And so as of April, 2023, Joey Joe Biden signed a declaration that COVID was no longer a
national health emergency. He also flat out said that, quote, the p
andemic is over in September of 2022. But with that official
declaration, a bunch of extra funds and benefits were halted,
pushing tons of citizens out of Medicaid and
effectively leaving America to twist in the wind,
because it's over, you see? Or to be more accurate,
it's now easy to ignore. And we can go back to a system where absolutely no new
protections are put in place for people struggling to survive. All safety measures are reversed and we can all be slammed just
as hard by the next pan
demic, be it COVID or something new and exciting. Maybe we'll get it from worms. We could call it worm
germ and I can finally offload all those custom
hats I made while drunk. Ooh, oh, that's so exciting. Get your worm germ hats,
except next time around, health officials won't be able to issue mask mandates
in a bunch of states. (lips smacks) Ah. Long live the worm germ, I guess. Glad we learned that lesson. Okay, well, I'm upset and
oftentimes I'll express that I'm upset and need a
joyful story
to cheer me up before we ironically cut
to an even worse story. So maybe if I ask for a worse
story, I'll get a good one. Okay, give me a worse
story, please. Thank you. (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) (crystal ball buzzing) A bunch of anti-genocide
voices will be censored. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzling) Well, I guess we learned
something about expectations. So listen here, we keep
saying that we're going to cover Palestine soon. It's like a mantra where
every time we bring it up, we hint a
t this larger future episode, and it might seem like we're stalling, because we're high and we slept in, but as we've said before, we like to take our time instead of trying to be the first to cover something. We also like to sleep in. But as we're filming this episode, our writers are working
on that script next, which will be edited, then
given to a fact checker before being printed out and fed to the magic news
donkey that (chuckles) after 24 hours poops it out
in the form of a moist pellet.
That pellet is then force fed to me. I go catatonic for exactly 76 minutes and then when I wake up, I
start talking, and we film it. If you're in the industry,
you know all of this. What I'm getting at is that I understand the frustration felt when a genocide is happening and people are disgustingly
silent about it. And I understand that frustration and rage because I watch the news. Well, I eat the news in pellet form, but the fugue state is very emotional. And like you, I've noticed the patter
n of mainstream media companies
systematically downplaying the reality of a genocide
happening right freaking now. As I mentioned with COVID, this country is very fond of pretending that everything is fine and
there's no need to make waves. And so it's only natural or natural to America that we're gonna see a lot of people losing their jobs for making waves against
this whole genocide dilly. I know this because it's
already happened in the past and also recently, which is
technically also in the
past, - But there are also people
that your government has killed. You accept that, right? You've killed children
or do you deny that? - No, I do not. I do not. I do not. First of all, you don't
know how those people died, those children.
- Oh wow. - First of all, we don't wanna
see a single child killed. - Okay, here's- - We don't wanna see
a single child killed- - I agree with you.
Here, I agree with you. We shouldn't blindly
believe anything Hamas says, but why should we believe what
your go
vernment says either? Your military spokesman on Monday pointed to an Arabic document in the
basement of a Gaza hospital and claimed it was a guardian list on which every terrorist writes his name, but that was false. It was just a calendar with
the days of the week on it. Your colleague in the
Prime Minister's Office, Ofir Gendelman, posted
behind-the-scenes footage from a Lebanese short film and claimed it was Palestinians in Gaza faking their own injuries. That tweet is still up a week later.
That is endless disinformation from your government, is it not? - Oh, damn, he really
blew that guy with facts. Sure hope no one pulls
his show from the air. That's MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan
interviewing Mark Regev, the senior advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu about how his boss sure likes to kill kids and then lie about it. And while Hasan wasn't exactly
the top dog at that network, you can see the value he has as a person who will actually call on bull (beeps) on the people he's interviewing. He's also
one of the
most prominent critics of the US and Israel's bombing of Gaza. Anyway, they pulled his show and demoted him, causing
him to quit the network. But, hey, maybe it's just a coincidence that he was yanked right after he began to question
Biden's support of Israel. You know, it's like
Magnolia, life is random. Sometimes frogs fall from the sky and reporters get demoted
for questioning a genocide. Anyway, Hasan's slot is being
filled by Ayman Mohyeldin, a reporter who ironically
made headl
ines back in 2014 for being pulled from Gaza on
the eve of a major conflict for, quote, security concerns, also known as Mohyeldin
being critical of Israel after seeing them kill
children with his own eyes. The network NBC would
blame this on infighting and bureaucracy and tried to downplay the connection, so random. But, hey, seems like this
keeps happening, right? In fact, following the
October 7th attacks, MSNBC began plans to remove three prominent
Muslim American journalists from their prim
etime positions. Just a lot of coincidences. Like in 2018 when Mark Lamont
Hill gave a speech in support of Palestine and then
coincidentally got fired from CNN right afterward. Or in 2021 when Emily Wilder tweeted about the double standards in
media coverage of Gaza and then was coincidentally
fired from the Associated Press. You know, just two
completely unrelated events where a reporter criticizes
Israel, the same week, they just happened to
be fired for no reason. That's just life. Frogs and
Tom Cruise with that greasy hair and junk, all random, just a
random thing keeps happening and will keep happening. Not just with Hasan and not
just with major companies. Here's a local sports reporter for the PhillyVoice getting fired for a tweet supporting Palestine. Here's a Palestinian journalist
at Global News who got fired for, no joke, expressing
grief on social media that people she knew were being killed. Here's an extremely levelheaded
tweet from Michael Eisen, longtime editor and chi
ef
of eLife, saying quote, "Every sane person on earth is horrified and traumatized by what Hamas did and wants it to never happen again. All the more so as a
Jew with Israeli family. But I am also horrified by the collective punishment
already being meted out on Gazans and the worse
that is about to come." Hey, that's super reasonable. It's worth mentioning that the use of Gazans isn't accurate considering that they're Palestinians who
have been forced into Gaza, but it's still a good point. An
yway, he got fired for
it, not for the Gazan stuff, but all the other stuff he said. Even the framing of that
headline omits what he said and simply claims he was
endorsing a satirical article without mentioning that he was making a very nuanced statement in response to a headline from The Onion. This is, to be frank, out of control and it's just going to keep happening as the year progresses. Not to compare any two stories, but much like how we decided
to attack wearing masks during the pandemi
c, it
seems that our solution to the genocide that's happening is to blame anyone expressing
outrage over the deaths and not, you know, the
people causing them. And of course that's mainly
going to be journalists who aren't exactly having a great decade, two decades, more? Are journalists masochists? (phone ringing) Sorry, I should get that. Might be my dentist. I have a thing. It's a crush on my dentist. Holler for the C word. - Oh, hi, Mr. Cody. Warmbo was just taking a bath and wanted to know
if Mr. Cody wanted to... Warmbo took an online class on making the shart-cute-try boards. - The, what? - Does Mr. Cody like shart-
shart-cute-try boards? - Are you trying to
say charcuterie boards? Warmbo, what is this? Do you wanna lay eggs in me so Katy will make me eat
the eggs or something? - No, silly goat, Warmbo's just- - Is this a corn thing? Are you gonna slit my throat and pump me full of corn
cream, puppet my corn corpse? Just get to the bit so
I can do the episode. Don't lure me in
with cheese promises that I know you can't keep. Actually, listen, I'm just gonna go. Kill me or don't call me again. (phone thuds) Sorry, his being weird today. I might need to call
Katy about it actually. So let's break for ads and then continue our
predictions into 2024 with Guile and Cody and Ken Masters and all the other "Street Fighter" and "Final Fight" characters, ha-ha. (lively music)
(screen zooms) Sweet Sorbo's spirit. Hello, America, are you disappointed or are you enjoying the show
about what to expect in 2024? I'm kind of enjoying it. Pretty mid, IMO, and that
stands for in my orifice. Anyhoo, I wanna talk about Ground News, a really great tool that we asked specifically
if they could sponsor us. Ground News breaks down who
is covering a particular story and from what political lean, because you know what else
we can expect in 2024? News about Joe Biden's age? Oh, boy. So for example, looking up the words
Joe plus Biden plus Age, you get that news about Hillary
Clinton ca
lling Biden's age a legitimate issue and can see that right-leaning papers
are more than happy to listen to her suddenly. Meanwhile, MSNBC completely
softened the headline and focused on Clinton,
quote, offering advice. See how learning about
news can be fun and sad? Hmm, Ground News gives me
all this extra information, like a bias distribution, a total number of
articles covering a story, and even who owns the publication. So check them out at ground.news/smn. You can subscribe for

(screen zooms) - Hello, my news gems. It's me, Katy. Do you like beans? I do. I love beans. I've b
een known to eat a bean or two and also fill people's
trunks with loose beans, you know, for friendship. And, listen, if you need beans, but also fresh, high quality

you a personalized cart to fit your grocery needs. I told the quiz I needed
beans and guess what? They gave me beans. But there are other
things that aren't beans that they offer. Things like gluten-free, vegan, keto, vegetarian, and even beans. Basically if it tastes good,
has trusted ingredients and is easy to make,
why, then they have it. So save hours of planning

(screen zooms) - Yeah, I don't know, Katy,
he just keeps calling me. He wants to watch "Green Book." No, that's the Professor X Nazi one. No, that's the Tom Hanks death row one. No, no
, no, that's Ryan
Reynolds with superpowers. Look, I'm getting tired of this bit, okay, just promise me you won't
make it worse, okay? Okay, speech to text
complete and send text. Hello, my juicy snacks. We're back. Warmbo is planning to eat me or at least consume me in some sort of metaphorical sense of the word. Count that as one of my many predictions I'm
making for the rest of the year. And, listen, look, look, listen, listen. Look at me with your face, okay? You might be watching and
thinki
ng that any dull piece of toast could predict
that COVID will spike again or that people will continue to be censored over
their views of Palestine. So why don't we get
ultra specific with it? Challenge me, make me fight the future. Like in that "X Files" movie
where FEMA was the villain. Can you imagine a benign
government agency tasked with protecting the safety of the public being
spun into a conspiracy? What would that even be like? (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) Aaron Rodgers is going
to
host a right-wing podcast. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzles) Oh, good answer. And specific too. So you may know Aaron Rodgers as that dude who made regular appearances
on "The Pat McAfee Show." I hear he also plays football, but he's mostly known for saying a bunch of embarrassing things,
often conspiracy brained, before going too far and
having to make a retraction. Most recently he did this. - This has something to
do with the Epstein list that came out. - Feels like, feels like- - That's suppo
sed to be coming out soon. That's supposed to be coming out soon. - Look at this guy. He's been waiting his wine cellar. I've been waiting my wine
cell cellar for this thing. - That's a lot of people,
including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn't come out. - Ah.
- Geez Louise. - All right. - Ah, geez, Louise. That is slander. So just to get it out of the way, Jimmy Kimmel isn't listed in any of the recently unsealed
Epstein documents. Rodgers almost immediately had
to walk this back cla
rifying that Kimmel had made fun
of him the previous year for claiming there was
an Epstein list at all. - So I made this comment on the show whenever that was last year, right? I believe, and then unprompted,
he comes out and says that I'm an overly concussed wacko, in my opinion, it seemed like, because I believe that there was a list and that there were names on that. - So his claim there is
that Jimmy Kimmel called him an overly concussed wacko because, quote, "I believe
that there's a list
and there were names on that. And so him saying that
Kimmel doesn't want a list to come out was actually because it would prove Kimmel wrong, not because he would be on that list. I wanted to show that clip and stress his convoluted quote there, because it's not true. Here's exactly what Kimmel said last year. - Needless to say, all this UFO talk has the tinfoil hatters going wild, including Green Bay Whack
Packer Aaron Rodgers who offered this hot take
on "The Pat McAfee Show." - I believe that
this has
been going on for a long time. Interesting timing on everything. There's a lot of other
things going on in the world. Did you hear about the
Epstein client list about to be released too? - What's that? What are you talking about? There's some files that
have some names on it that might be getting
released pretty soon. - Oh.
- Oh. - Oh. (audience laughing) Might be time to revisit that
concussion protocol, Aaron. - You see how this is getting silly? Last year, Aaron Rodgers claimed that
the Chinese spy balloon
story was a planned distraction from the Epstein client list and Kimmel was clearly making fun of him for that specific theory and not that Rodgers thought
there was a list at all. I can't believe I have to explain that. It's so child-like. I can't speak for Jimmy because he won't accept my fan fiction, but he wasn't denying
the list in that clip. He was just making fun of the UFO stuff. That's just how words work. So Aaron is either really
bad at being manipulative or j
ust misunderstanding
a very simple thing and this fits into a larger pattern of Rodgers being a pretty
simple conspiracy brain guy who just says stuff without
really thinking about it before having to either
double down or walk it back, otherwise known as the
perfect right-wing podcaster. Another extremely predictable
example is that he refused to get vaccinated back in
2021, opting to tell reporters that he was, quote, immunized from COVID. Meaning that he apparently
claimed that he was immune
to the disease, which
wasn't true it turned out, as evidenced by him getting COVID and being forced to miss a game. Aaron would then claim
that he was allergic to the ingredients in the vaccine and opted to immunize
himself by taking a, quote, diluted strand of the virus orally. And when the NFL hired a medical expert to investigate this claim, they found no evidence of
that treatment working at all. Lord knows where he came up with that. Again just kinda seems like a silly guy who will easily b
elieve anything if it confirms his worldview
because it slowly became clear that Aaron was just a weird
anti-vaxxer who refused to do even the most basic protections because he didn't like
being told to do stuff. - It was at that point
that I petitioned them to accept my immunization status as under their vaccination protocol. Now at the time, they had only had the big three was what they're gonna do. And if you weren't in
the vaccinated category, you were in a different category, which involved
some draconian measures and protocols that you
would have to adhere to, which, in my opinion,
were not based on science. - If you're curious, the draconian
and unscientific measures the NFL required unvaccinated
players to take were to be tested daily and to continue social distancing and... (paper crackling) Oh, that's it. Just those two draconian
and unscientific things. This keeps going. I don't
want it to, but it does. Because after failing to walk it back, Rodgers began to go full
tilt abo
ut the issue, getting into a beef with Travis Kelce for doing a commercial for the vaccine. Remember, this started with
Aaron Rodgers simply claiming that he specifically can't get the vaccine because his weak snowflake
of a body was allergic to its ingredients and now he's going after anyone who so much as
suggests that vaccines are good. - You know, Mr. Pfizer said
he didn't think he would be in a vax war with me. - Oh, boy. - Didn't think he'd be
in a vax war with me. This ain't a war, homie.
This is just conversation. - Ah, yes, all the best and smartest conversations start by calling someone Mr. Pfizer. Kelce ultimately turned down
Rodgers' call for a debate, presumably because he
had to win the Super Bowl and be with his family and have sex with the biggest pop star in the world and junk. But Rodgers never let it go. And finally, after years of being a weird little conspiracy freak, perpetually picking fights
above his weight class, that's a sports term, Pat
McAfee couldn't take
it anymore, and booted Rodgers from being
a weekly guest on the show while still saying that
he'd get to show up from time to time. Not exactly a punishment and also he had him on like the next day, but whatever, this is all to
say that Aaron Rodgers has a lot of bad opinions, a recent injury, and extra time on his hands. The Jet didn't make the playoffs. Podcasting equipment is affordable. And right now The Daily Wire is hitting up those DMs, no doubt. We can all look forward to Aaron Podgers o
r the Aaron Rodge Cast, or simply "The Aaron Rodgers Show" featuring regular guest RFK Jr. and the round table of the
dullest honkies rattling out a cacophony of baseless
pedophile accusations until they are predictably
sued into oblivion. It'll be fun, except counterpoint, no, it won't. Hey, look, a segue. (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) Everybody will become a, quote, pedophile. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzles) Quotation marks are very important. Gonna have to explain
this one a little bit. S
o you might have heard about this dude named Jeffrey Epstein. Well, he's no longer with us, ha. But his pal Ghislaine Maxwell is ha-ha. And back in 2017, Ghislaine settled a defamation
case against a woman who claimed to be sex trafficked by Epstein back when she was a teenager. And thanks to a freedom
of information lawsuit by the Miami Herald, a bunch of documents from
that case have been released. This is what Aaron Rodgers
has been gloating about as his Epstein list, which, by
the way, isn't
really a list. It's more like a 4,553-page pile that includes somewhere in there, 150 people mentioned during
that defamation trial. And so two things can be true. Number one, these new
documents didn't contain any new smoking gun
against a public figure. And number two, Bill Clinton
and Donald Trump are rapists. Also Prince Andrew, who the new and old evidence
very much implicates. Also a bunch of other
rich people, most likely. It's safe to say that, for me at least, because I know karate. As
for the two schlubby former presidents, all that's been said is
that they were likely at least aware of what Epstein was doing because he was apparently very
open about it to the point that his home was filled with
nude pictures of young girls. I don't think you have
to be a pedophile expert to walk into someone's home and see big signs that read
pedophile beer on their walls and also be a bit concerned about that, unless you were also a pedophile. Point being that Clinton, Trump, and let's not
forget Alan Dershowitz, were all mentioned a lot as close friends or associates of Epstein. So it's hard to imagine a situation where they weren't aware. Like hypothetically if
I smoked a lot of weed and kept it around my house everywhere and Katy came to my
house a lot and hung out, you might wonder if Katy was also smoking
weed, hypothetically. She could at least, you know, be cool with weed, hypothetically. Also in this scenario, Katy constantly talked about
how she wanted to smoke weed, oft
en walked in on other
people smoking weed, and was seen leering at weed at a party while standing next to me. - [Reporter] Both men are
seen enjoying themselves, Trump pointing out women
dancing in front of them. - Donald Trump is a rapist,
like a really obvious rapist. He apparently once had a party where the guest list was
just himself, Epstein, and 28 young girls. Also I do smoke weed. I admit it. Anyway, I bring up Trump specifically and not Clinton, who's also a rapist, because of how the r
ight reacted to the towering evidence against Trump. In short, sad denial. You see, because these recent
documents have two witnesses claiming that they never saw
Trump on Epstein's islands, a series of very good brains have decided that this clears him of all accusations, which you may have noticed
requires ignoring all the other evidence. And what I want to highlight
there are the words of Mr. Turd, specifically him claiming that, quote, "Pretty much
everybody else is guilty." I think that's t
he really
telling detail here, which brings us all the way
back to those quotation marks because the Epstein documents
are, as I mentioned, really long, no one is going
to go through all of that. We just wanted a list, you know? Give us the list, something
snazzy and searchable, perhaps read by David Letterman. But since we didn't get that, these new Epstein documents can be used to claim really anything. The right specifically
loves inserting this story into larger conspiracies designed to cove
r up uncomfortable realities. Trump gets raided by the FBI? Well, the judge who did it was
tied to Epstein, of course. Nevermind that the judge
was actually a lawyer for Epstein's employees and just happened to be the judge on duty to sign the search warrant. These people seem to have
a child-like understanding of how the world works
and they will continue to use these documents to say
just about whatever they want and deflect in any way they can. - It's not like he got
lenient sentences for (be
eps) and then mysteriously
died in his prison cell and all of the footage went missing and no one knows how he suddenly was able to end his own life. Yet stop thinking about
it. Just get on with it. The New York Times could be relied on, to tell you the truth. There's nothing to see here.
Trust the legacy media. We haven't got no skin in the game. - Yes, do not trust the media. Nothing they say, ignore the headlines, please, pretty please, pretty
please, ignore the headlines. What I'm getting at
here is that there's absolutely something fishy with the Jeffrey Epstein stuff, probably because very powerful
people are absolutely guilty of that horrific (beeps), but he was also a really rich
guy who knew a lot of people and so it stands to reason that not everyone he knew was part of a grand pedophile conspiracy. That's most likely the case, except a portion of the
country lost their minds over Pizzagate a few years back and they're actually willing to accept that there is this massive
tho
usands upon thousands of people, conspiracy of
pedophiles that just happens to include all the people
they specifically don't like and discludes Trump. The person who happens to be
one of the most implicated. It's just a wild card for them. They can point to anyone famous and say, "I bet you're a pedophile,"
with no actual evidence. And I'm willing to bet
that before the year ends, it's going to happen
on the political stage, perhaps being said by the guy who is almost
definitely a rapist. And b
esides it being a totally
grotesque monkey (beeps) of a display, the bigger tragedy is that it will greatly distract
us from figuring out who was actually involved in this. If everyone calls
everyone else a pedophile, then ironically the
people actually implicated will get lost in the shuffle. The word loses all meaning, which the real sex criminals
are probably very happy about. It's the I'm Spartacus of
pedophiles. Good job, everyone. (phone ringing) Nobody answer that! Thank Christ, I think.

)
(curtains shattering) Twitter is going to hit rock bottom. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzles) Okay, well, it doesn't take a doctor to declare a charred torso
as being officially dead. Currently the site is in
the middle of bleeding out. Global traffic is down 14% and the company purchased for $44 billion is now being valued at $15 billion, which I do believe is less money. Basically everything Elon Musk said would improve actually got worse. He was wrong about everything. He claimed that Twitter
wo
uld break even in 2023, reach 600 million active users by 2025, and have 159 million Twitter
Blue subscribers by 2028. And I don't know, there's still time. I mean, there's what? A little over 400,000 Blue subscribers as of May, 2023? We don't have the current numbers
because, and this is real, Musk banned the guy keeping track of that. But anyway, he's just
got another rounding up, 159 million to go. Also active users are going down, not up. And, boy, they are very
much still in debt. Meanwhile
, ad sales plummeted
by 59% from April, 2022 to April, 2023. But Elon can probably turn that around. - Don't advertise. - [Interviewer] You don't
want them to advertise? - No. - [Interviewer] What do you mean? - Oh, right, for a second, I forgot that he's an
extremely uncool person who seems to have a humiliation fetish and is subconsciously
trying to lose as much money as humanly possible. We've all seen the clip,
so let's watch it again. - Go (beeps) yourself. - Boy, in terms of awkwardness, I
'd have to rate that as 10 out of 10 slightly smaller bomber jackets. So, look, we've covered Twitter and Elon Musk a few, many,
many, many times on this show, and I'm not gonna repeat what's been said, nor am I going to talk about
how, since our last videos, Musk has fully devolved into
a weird little Nazi freak posting a series of increasingly
unhinged opinions like a magician pulling scarves
made of human flesh. The guy who wanted to be the savior of mankind has amazingly transitioned into a
mediocre BlazeTV host in an impressively short amount of time. Now claiming that migrants
will take our homes or that cis is a slur or becoming obsessed with DEI, a thing we will be getting to very soon. Anyway, I'm not gonna
talk about all of that, mainly because I'll be doing
another episode about it. What I actually wanna talk about is the incredible whiplash happening due to Elon Musk's completely unhinged and hate-fueled statements
coming from and about Twitter. And the company's
absolutely
hilarious attempt to pretend everything is okay. To quote Twitter's current CEO, and perpetual nervous breakdown haver, Linda Yaccarino, "X is enabling
an information independence that's uncomfortable for some people. We're a platform that allows people to make their own decisions. And here's my perspective
when it comes to advertising. X is standing at a unique and amazing intersection of
free speech and Main Street and the X Community is powerful
and is here to welcome you." Oh, right, it's c
alled X. So that is incredibly how she responded to her boss literally telling advertisers to go (beeps) themselves and not buy ads on Twitter. A site that pays her, I
assume, an obscene salary, because while Elon seems
to want everyone to think that Twitter is now a free speech haven, unbeholden to anyone, it's clear that the site
is desperate to make money. And that's interesting, because
when you think about it, if the richest man in
the world truly believed that he was bettering mankind
by c
reating a marketplace of ideas with no masters and, quote, open source news, then he wouldn't care about
it making money, right? Like he would assume
it wouldn't make money and would be so altruistic
as to pay for it himself because you can't do both, right? You either make an anarchist
candy land paid entirely by unconventional means, or you deal with advertising ghouls, patreon.com/somemorenews. But Musk isn't fronting the cash, he's not running the (beeps) Pirate Bay, even though he acts like
it. It's almost like he
accidentally bought Twitter because he was dared into doing it and now has no (beeps) clue what to do, but is so pot committed
to his free speech hogwash that he can't admit he made a mistake. Every single policy change
he's made has been bad. He single handedly turned Twitter
Blue into a mark of shame, pushed celebrities off the platform, got rid of all moderation, associated the brand with hate speech, and boosted the absolute
worst people on the internet. He did the e
xact opposite
of everything you should do to run a successful social media site. And before you call out
Community Notes is a good thing, that was originally called Birdwatch and was created before he took over. In short, he turned a flawed
site into a crumbling hellhole, just both cities in the
biohack games mushed together. (optimistic music) (screen zooms) And so going back to how easy
it is to look at all of this and say that Twitter is dying, I want to augment my
prediction a little bit by
explaining exactly how it'll die. So did you know that Twitter fired all of their election
misinformation moderators? (scoffs) Of course you knew
that or rather assumed it. So I think perhaps Twitter
is going to get really, really bad this November, for some reason that I forget, some kind of race is happening. Podrace, a podrace. And I think that as more podracers notice
that Twitter is failing and dig into moderation
laws around Twitter, we're gonna start seeing
some nasty lawsuits, maybe even
some crimes get exposed. And no matter what Elon Musk will say, quietly they'll be trying to play ball. And what we're gonna see starting in 2024 is Musk very slowly trying to
put Twitter all the way back to where it started before he bought it, while hoping nobody notices. And most likely the site
will just end up dying before he gets there. He's already started too. Did you hear that they're
hiring more moderators thanks to that Taylor Swift AI porn thing. It's almost like moderators are good
and necessary, though
this movie's likely more because Elon very clearly
wants to (beeps) Taylor Swift. Sorry, buddy, it's not
gonna happen. Ah, shucks. But more importantly, it's almost like everything
Elon dismantled was there for a reason and now we're going
to have to watch Elon learn that in real time as
high-profile people get affected. Literally it's just this tweet. Read it, read the tweet. Are you reading it? Okay. It'll be like 2015 all over again, starting with Twitter
deciding to pi
vot to video, which they are currently trying to do. Even going so far as to artificially boost the view count of a Mr. Beast video to make
it seem more successful, which you might recall is exactly what happened when Facebook did this. He's just doing the exact same thing but nearly 10 years later. Amazing, it's like his browser is accidentally stuck
10 years in the past, which would actually explain his humor. So that tweet is from 2023, 2-0-2-3. Here it is again and again in 2023. Notice it d
oesn't even
make sense in the context of what he's replying to. It's just like a thing
he thinks he can say whenever he wants to project
the illusion of a joke. So yeah, at the end of this year, Twitter's misinformation
problem is gonna grow. It's gonna get the attention of lawmakers, possibly in a bad way, possibly
(beeps) up the country, and desperately try to correct
course by bringing back all of the old moderation
systems and policies. Only it'll rebrand it
all to seem different and Musk wi
ll take credit, but by then, people will
just keep moving on. It'll bleed out possibly
for years while Musk tries to convince people not
to use phone numbers before fading into oblivion and everyone will move
on to the next thing. Just like we're about to
move on to the next thing, (paper crackling) which is this thing. (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) (crystal ball buzzing) DEI is the new CRT. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzling) Ay, speaking of fads, diversity is a fad. Just kidding, can you imag
ine? No, that's not the fad. Remember CRT, it stood for something? Something very specific
that was being taught to a select group of college kids, but Republicans pretended it stood for something really
broad and then claimed that the very broad thing was being taught to elementary school kids
and destroying the country and then made a bunch of really bad laws before claiming they defeated CRT, which they didn't, because it was never that broad
thing they claimed it to be and then they just
sto
pped talking about it, because it was never real to begin with? And we all sorta knew it, right? And accepted that our
education system was just a little worse now because a small number of conservatives manufactured an outrage over nothing for
the purpose to inject a pinch of white nationalism into
our education system. Notice how I didn't get into the details or exhaustively explain
what CRT is and isn't because it's not like it
(beeps) matters to them. Also just go watch our video about it. D
o we have a clip? (Cody screaming) Very informative, the whole
thing is part of a very long and pretty sus history of conservatives being mad
at school curriculum whenever it teaches something other than a whitewashed version of history. And there's always been a passing
outrage around the concept of diversity often manifested
in some kind of acronym, PC culture, CRT, and now DEI, AKA diversity,
equity and inclusion. The looming threat that colleges and institutions are overrun by politically co
rrect liberals has been a thing since at least the 90s. So have Republicans been
going after affirmative action for decades and it's never
actually been a problem, right? You would assume that
if PC culture was out of control 30 years ago, we'd see some kind of
evidence of that today. Am I missing something? Are white people struggling now or rather struggling
worse than other races? We're all doing not
great, generally speaking. Being inclusive and compassionate and seeking equity doesn't
reall
y cause a lasting harm the way, say, pollution or poverty or a new terrible "Indiana Jones" does. Like maybe it's caused
some problems somewhere, but not enough to make
it this huge battle. This is all to point out how strange it is that conservatives are able to get away with making a large portion
of their agenda devoted to fighting against an invisible threat that never actually happens for decades. And perhaps we should stop
entertaining them at all when they bring this stuff up. We certainl
y shouldn't make
political policies around it. So let's stop. Can we stop? - Okay, here's the
problem with DEI for real if you wanna know. - Two weeks ago, Elon Musk
posted on X that, quote, DEI must die. Turns out he might have
been on to something. - DEI frameworks have largely
failed Jewish students - Outrage over diversity,
equity and inclusion. DEI, it never ends, and now it's reached
Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the world's finest. - Claudine Gay was the
symbol of the DEI regime that has
conquered American academic life. - The Biden Administration wants to spend $280 million on DEI initiatives. - It seems like obviously
this is a dangerous business when you are focused on DEI and maybe less focused on engineering and safety, which you should
be when you build airplanes, which people can die in. - The values of Israel and
America very much align. And once we start seeing
those values disintegrate, and that's coming in through DEI, through anti-racism, through SEL. - Is that DEI,
this, this
poisonous alphabet soup, DEI, CRT, BDS, that's being crammed down to these young skulls as being exposed for the hollow, for the false
God that it actually is. - No, that's a no? They're just gonna throw everything at the wall and hope it sticks, awesome. DEI is why planes crash and how Hamas wins apparently. And so while we're not going
to get into the CRT panic, we should probably look
into what DEI actually is, starting with the headlines that major companies are
downsizing their
DEI programs. Those stories often highlight
tech companies cutting a portion of their DEI
staff as well as the fact that DEI-related job
postings have dropped. I'd argue neither of those two things have to do with DEI programs
being bad for business as conservatives are framing it. - You know, we gotta make
profits and DEI isn't working. Great idea on paper. Maybe in theory, not good for business. - See, the narrative going on
is that DEI created a bunch of diverse hires that
made the businesses
worse and now they are walking
back their policies. You might notice that as
being a very racist narrative that happens to be mirrored
by the (beeps) richest man in the world. They want us to think that airlines and other companies brought
on unqualified employees because they were diverse and then failed because of that and are now
walking that policy back. This also very insidiously
gives them a false justification for decades upon decades
of systemic racism, a way to justify a legacy of inst
itutions being cartoonishly white. Because you see, it's not a history of discrimination if you pretend that Brown people are simply less competent
all along, such a plot twist. We weren't racist after all. It's the minority's fault, you see? Super unracist position to
have I say with sarcasm. And of course the hope here
is to use this narrative to shame institutions out
of making actual efforts to mitigate a system
built on white supremacy. It's a conservative wet dream, a narrative where not
o
nly is diversity bad, but discrimination never happened and we don't have to change at all. But this narrative has a key problem besides being racist. Specifically that none of these institutions actually
made diversity efforts to begin with. See, DEI does suck, but not
for the reasons they say. It sucks 'cause they didn't do it. Airlines, for example, did
not increase their diversity after their DEI measures. Pilots and engineers are
still 92% white and male. So, wait, if diversity
isn't why ai
rlines are bad, I wonder what it actually is. Perhaps some other reason
involving the airlines giving their CEOs obscene raises
while cutting all other costs. Anyway, the same goes for tech companies. Google has barely moved the
needle with diversity hires. All of these corporations made this big performative push in 2020, did nothing to actually improve diversity, and they're now scaling
back those programs. That's likely why job
postings have dropped, because there was a bump
when they hired e
veryone and that bump went down, because
they already hired people. You don't need to keep hiring people for the same ultra specific
positions every year, right? And in fact, besides
these major companies, DEI efforts are actually still expanding, which would be good if
they actually did anything. In fact, a lot of places are
rebranding DEI completely thanks to this new conservative attack, which means that what seems like shrinking is actually just pivoting. As for education and college campuse
s, it's kinda the same story there. Despite it being treated like
a looming threat to teachers, most DEI school offices have
very little funding or power. To quote, a professor from
Pennsylvania State University, "They struggle for resources and don't have much power
of enforcement at all. Nobody's hired or fired in a university because of what a DEI office says. It doesn't work that way. It's mostly an advisory
or aspirational office." It's harmless, so harmless
that it's actually useless? In f
act, the most use DEI seems to have is to give conservatives
something to pretend to fight against. It's a performative measure being performatively battled
like a ren faire puppet show. Last year, our new favorite loser, Ron DeSantis, signed a bill
banning DEI in public colleges. Texas did as well. Utah passed a law to restrict
this make-belief threat, as is the governor of Oklahoma
trying to do the same. In all these cases, they
are just beating down an already beaten thing. These departments
are
barely hanging on already, like taking a shotgun to those aforementioned ren faire puppets. And what sucks about all
of this is that the concept of DEI isn't bad. Even huge dumb piece of
(beeps) Elon Musk agrees. Schools and corporations should have departments making real efforts to increase diversity if only because diversity
objectively improves things. Like according to research, it makes people and
companies more successful. And much like we saw with CRT, this crusade against DEI is
jus
t going to punish any action that has a hint of diversity to it. To continue the metaphor, the shotgun blast will
not only disintegrate the ren faire puppet, but spray the entire
audience with buckshot. Awesome puppet show though. Oh my God, it was so fun and
(beeps) up. What a weird show. Back in June, 2023, Texas A&M University announced the hiring of a Black professor to breathe new life into
their journalism school. This extremely experienced professor who had spent 20 years working for The
New York Times also happened to have a background studying inclusion and race in relation to newsrooms. And that background was enough
for some people to put up so much of a stink that A&M ended up downgrading
her contract so much that she didn't take the job. It was such a screw up that the school ended up paying her a million dollar settlement
and the president of the school resigned. Now you tell me, how does any of that address
the conservative fears of DEI? If they aren't just
racists, whic
h they are, but pretending they aren't,
then isn't the entire fear that unqualified people get
jobs because they're a minority? Wouldn't they want to prove they aren't racist by celebrating an extremely qualified
Black person getting a job? But again, they're just racist, right? Like objectively speaking, if
DEI is not actually effective and companies aren't
actually that diverse, then why go after it? You can only look racist doing this. You're just like, well, a plane crashed. Surely it was th
e Black pilot. What a weird thing they've agreed to do. It's just, they just wanna
court racist, is the thing. Oh, there's also one other reason. (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) (crystal ball buzzing) There will be increasing
attacks on educators. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzling) Right, I mean, as far as predictions go, this is like saying that
the ocean will continue to be wet in 2024. At least I hope it is. Is that... I haven't checked on the ocean in a while. Are we doing, we're not
doing c
limate change in this episode, all right. We'll address that later. What I mean is that
conservatives have been going after schools in the
education system for a while and so it's safe to say they
will continue to do that, mainly with all this DEI business, but also they recently
found a brand new tactic, accusations of plagiarism. Now plagiarism sucks. Don't do it. I hate it. I actually have an upcoming
four-hour video about it, so check that out when it publishes. And I would argue, most peopl
e
feel the same way as I do. It's an easy thing to create outrage over. Even when the accusations are minor, sometimes it's just too
late when the dust settles. And so theoretically, it's
a good weapon to wield against someone you already don't like. So let's say there was some kind of school official who
both represented diversity and also had committed the terrible crime of not condemning Hamas
with every breath they take. Let's call them Dr. Claudine Gay, Harvard's first Black president who r
ecently stepped down because of plagiarism accusations concerning several
academic papers she wrote going back to the 90s. It's totally made-up person. So we have this Black woman supportive of diversity in charge of a college where many students
publicly criticized Israel and whose name is literally Gay. I'm sure conservatives
were mostly mad about the plagiarism and nothing else. Probably a coincidence
that this woman was already in their cross hairs having to even undergo a congressional
hear
ing about Israel and accusations of antisemitism
from protestors on campus. Then these plagiarism accusations
spring up several days after the hearing by Chris Rufo, a conservative dip who has
very publicly taken credit for inventing the CRT panic
as a political tactic. Chris's entire MO is finding
the next artificial moral panic that Republicans can wield
to keep their base attentive and is very much focused on using schools as an ideological battleground. - Claudine Gay was the
symbol of the D
EI regime that has conquered American academic life. - He's also one of the
people who drummed up outrage for Drag Queen Story Hour, a thing you may notice that conservatives just
stopped talking about. So it's amazing people give credence to anything he says anymore. And yet Dr. Gay would end up having to resign from her position because of these plagiarism
accusations, which, oh, did I mention they weren't that severe. And don't get me wrong
here, there was plagiarism. I'm not letting her off
the hook completely. But to quote the independent
investigation into this, in nine instances, her articles, quote, paraphrased or reproduced the language of others without quotation marks and without sufficient and
clear crediting of sources. That's not great. It's bad actually. But according to the
author she lifted from, nothing Gay had done equated to the, quote, theft of ideas. In fact, the only author who was upset about this
was a one Carol M. Swain who happens to be a frequent guest on co
nservative media and
has spoken out against CRT and by spoken out, I mean she
wrote an entire book about how CRT is bad - And some of the worst ideas
in human history have come from professional educators and we cannot trust them with our children because they have agendas that's very much rooted
in cultural Marxism. It's about turn down
traditional structures, the family, marriage, church, on and on. - Oh yeah, seems like a great
judge of educational matters. That must be why she's a professor
at the nada university Prager University. I don't want people to think
that I'm absolving Dr. Gay of the mistakes she made or even implying that they
were innocent mistakes. It's more that this specific accusation of plagiarism is just so
transparently not about the ethics of plagiarism and is more
about conservatives finding a way to go after an educator. For example, you may have
seen hedge fund billionaire, Bill Ackman go after Dr. Gay when they were still
calling for her removal. And then pe
rhaps you saw
the immediate revelation that Ackman's wife had also
done a plagiarism while at MIT, but way, way worse than what Dr. Gay did. Apparently she copied and pasted from Wikipedia to which Bill Ackman extensively tried to argue was totally okay because MIT didn't specifically say you can't copy from Wikipedia? In other words, he didn't actually care. Like obviously he didn't care because it was never about plagiarism. It was a hit by the right for political reasons orbiting
this weird r
acist resentment around DEI policies. And because it worked this time, we're going to continue seeing attempts to oust school figures for petty things all at the
cost of schools of course. And on the other side of things, we're also going to see more and more ghouls infiltrate our schools for the singular purpose of pushing a political
ideology on children. The exact thing they keep
accusing the left of doing. I don't know how many times we should or need to beat this drum, but I would reckon th
at the
reason conservatives see schools and education as a
threat has nothing to do with ideology being pushed. They seem to be threatened by very basic curriculum
teaching things like history or empathy, and maybe they
should reflect on that. You know how Republicans are
really good at reflecting on stuff and learning from mistakes? About as good as Democrats, I guess. Bad, they're both bad at
it, is what I'm saying. Hey, that reminds me, (eerie music)
(curtains shattering) (crystal ball buzzin
g) there's an election apparently. (smoke roars)
(smoke sizzling) Right, I knew there
was something happening at the end of the year. Okay, so it's cheating to predict that there will be an election in 2024. I can just like look around and see that that's true you know? And it is, it's true. It's happening. It's not hard to assume that
it'll be Trump versus Biden because it's already that. I mean, I guess Nikki
Haley's still around, but, you know, come on. I mean, like really? Like, come on, com
e on. I'm not really gonna make any
prediction in this segment so much as give us all a chance to reflect on how profoundly clown
(beeps) this election is going to be. It is hard to even fathom. It's like trying to imagine
the size of the sun. For starters, one of the candidates is facing 91 felony counts the same time he's running for office. Those charges include, but aren't limited to
falsifying business records to pay off women he had sex with, racketeering, a very clear case of him refusing
to hand over documents and of course trying to
steal the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Trump has made it clear that he will not keep his
mouth shut as if he's trying to see how many lawyers he can kill with stress-induced heart failure. It's honestly hard to
imagine him winning most of these cases, as so many
people have flipped on him. Ultimately a lot of this will come down to the Supreme Court,
which will have a lot of trouble justifying it
if they side with a guy who coincidentally hired a bunc
h of them. I mean, I'm sure they'll
find a way though. If Trump is lucky, he'll be
able to push the date back for a lot of these cases
until after the election, because if he becomes the President, none of this will matter, for many, many, many grim reasons. It's probably a great motivator for him to do a good job running for president because if he loses, then he'll probably
just go to jail, right? In a lot of ways, this next election is
the ultimate stress test, not only on the cardiovascular
system for Trump's staff and the integrity of our
elections in the Supreme Court, but the Republican Party's ability to protect itself from reality. For the next year, they are going to have to pretend like Trump is innocent of these obvious crimes. And I'm guessing that a
lot of them are hoping that in the event that Trump loses, they will finally try
to pivot away from him. Because it's not like
Biden is hard to defeat. But until then, this
election will be a game of distractions and misinform
ation. And I guess my prediction is that everything we talked
about in this video will come up during the
campaigns, and in fact, Trump's likelihood of being
elected will hinge on it. His mishandling of the pandemic will surely come up during debates. He'll have to be like, I'm
the one who made the vaccine, which is poison, by the way. Also brought up will be
Biden's terrible policies on Palestine met equally with Trump's terrible plan
for handling Palestine. Trump and other right wing candidate
s will most definitely label
their opponents as pedophiles, and Lord knows Twitter will be a rat festival of misinformation. Can't wait to see Elon discuss DEI with Trump on Twitter spaces. Oof, DEI will no doubt
be the central issue of multiple GOP campaigns, as
will great replacement stuff, of course, just gonna throw that in there. As will accusations of plagiarism
and attacks on education. This is all on the table, the terrible wobbling table
made of turds and bones that's seconds from colla
pse. (optimistic music) (screen zooms) I guess what I'm saying is
that this is going to be one of the dumbest elections ever and simultaneously one of the
most important for America. Like always, a turning point,
resting on genocide Joe and crime dictator where
two of the oldest people who ever lived stumble around questions about
(beeps) diversity in airlines and everyone gets to tune in on X where the top boosted tweet
will be misinformation about a mass shooter or violence at a protest while
Ian Miles Cheong
live X's about how Biden is paying migrants to
hack voting machines. So very embarrassing. That's my final psychic prediction. 2024 will be embarrassing,
but I'll be here with you. I'm not going anywhere. My life is great. I even got rid of Warmbo. In fact, if I were to predict it, I think 2024 is gonna be
a totally uneventful year for me personally and
without any twists and turns. I'm calling it now. It's gonna be a great
year for Cody and my pals. End of episode. (pen thuds)
We nailed it. - Come on, somebody? (Warmbo moans) (Warmbo pants) (optimistic music) Warmbo should run away. Warmbo will run away. Warmbo will make everyone pay for not wanting to hang out with Warmbo. This is what you get for not
wanting to hang out with me. Me leaving, I won't
think about that longer. The logic is sound. The logic, it's sound. - Hey everybody, did you
enjoy the foreshadowing? It's there for a reason. Stay tuned. Okay, so thanks for watching the video. Like if you can. Subscribe

My spouse isn't usually, but this time, he happened to be watching with me, and near the end, he asked, "What's the lore of Warmbo?" The question carried more weight than I was ready to grapple with, and I honestly had no idea how to describe anything I'd seen Warmbo do up until this point..
As a bald man I really appreciate Katie actively trying to not make me feel bad about being bald in the nutriful ads. Not that its intended but often hair loss ads make me feel self conscious about something that was out of my control
I'm at one of those universities affected by a statewide DEI ban, and it's been a nightmare. They had to shut down the pride center and the multicultural office. Programs meant to cut sexual assault and power based violence had to slash their curriculums to remove any mentions of race or gender (meaning they can't talk about sexual, racism, hate crimes, etc). It's a shit show
In Australia recently, an ABC journalist was let go, due to pressure from an actual lobbying group. When that group was identified, the government rushed through “anti-doxxing laws”.
Long Covid sufferer for 2 and a half years. Got it at work while taking care of covid patients (I'm an RN). Haven't worked since I got it. Workmans comp stopped paying me a year and a half ago. In tens of thousands of dollars in debt. About to be homeless. Government doesn’t give a crap. 08:22 thank you for at least highlighting and acknowledging our suffering. 🙏
I work in a University department that has/had a DEI committee and it’s the most benign shit ever. It’s like, available materials for any minority having a hard time. Getting mad at DEI is like trying to villainize those little bike repair stations we have in some parking lots.
"A better world is necessary and possible." I tell my students this every day. Thanks SMN <3
I'm 45 & CONservatives have been going after education & diversity longer than I've been alive.
The "Professor X Nazi one" was Green Room starring Patrick Stewart, the "Tom Hanks death row one" was Green Mile, and the "Ryan Reynolds with superpowers" one was Green Lantern. Green Book is about an African-American pianist touring the Segregation Era South.
As someone immunocompromised from Crohn's Disease medication I feel extremely called out by impoonocompromised
Cody joking about putting out a four hour video about plagiarism makes me very happy, I understood that reference!
I love that two of my favorite YouTubers, Hbomb and Shaun the skull, were mentioned in my favorite showdy.
I appreciate you incessantly deadnaming twitter.
Love the Skinamarink phone for warmbo. It was a nice touch, really sold the madness.
"i can taste you breathing" win warmbo's voice is one of the most terrifying sentences i've heard
I love when Cody and Katy say words with their mouths that I then hear with my ears and taste with my eyes.
My household currently consists of 2 individuals with COVID, one immunocompromised the other with lung issues. Our outlook is looking good but I'm annoyed things got this bad
I'm so glad long covid was included in this episode! Back in 2022 I tried to tell normal people and doctors that I'm not testing positive, but I'm exhausted. I didn't start having a normal energy level until a year later.
The H.Bomberguy reference was great
"it seems like his browser is stuck ten years in the past" This is probably one of the most profound and insightful things youve ever said in service of our species and you did so as a throwaway line. Thanks for that. This is helpful.
